families

A brain injury can affect the whole family, not just the person with the injury. Our service therefore takes into account the needs of the family too.

If you are considering using a BIRT service for a family member, we will be pleased to discuss with you any aspect of assessment and rehabilitation. We can also visit you at home, or at the hospital, to answer any of your queries.

If you would like to know more about BIRT’s service please feel free to contact us. If you would like to visit a BIRT service for yourself, and talk to our staff, then you can also use this website to find out where we are, and which unit is closest to you.

We understand that families can play a vital role in the long-term rehabilitation of someone with a brain injury. If you choose to use a BIRT service for your relative then you will be welcome to visit regularly.

Our goal is to understand your relative’s unique needs and create a programme that will give them the best possible chance of rehabilitation. Our programmes are designed to be challenging, so that people are encouraged to make as much progress as they can towards social reintegration.
